I was just on hold to the GP surgery and half listening to all the usual recorded messages, and one of them was the surgery's website being recited as {surgeryname} dot cee-oh dot you-kay

Remember that time that techbros and major corporations told us jpgs of terrible monkey art were going to change the world, people were like "Nah pal, I'm good", and within just a few years it all fell apart spectacularly? That was rad. Let's do that again.

I wonder why. I really thought it was brilliant

Seems to have been a bit forgotten, which is a shame. Although I might be totally wrong, since I haven't got a TV and am generally massively out of touch on such matters

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Sorting DVDs that had been in storage and, babes, have I a double-bill for you.
DVDs of Casanova starting David Tennant and Crime & Punishment starring John Simm.

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

"‘I shall deal with the matter momentarily,’ he said. It was a good word. It always made people hesitate. They were never quite sure whether he meant he’d deal with it now, or just deal with it briefly. And no-one ever dared ask."

Discworld QOTD, from Monstrous Regiment

“Keep out of the way of officers, ‘cos they ain’t healthy. That’s what you learn in the army. The enemy dun’t really want to fight you, ‘cos the enemy is mostly blokes like you who want to go home with all their bits still on. But officers’ll get you killed.”

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.
